Benedict college

The Project Grant award in the amount of $150,000 was provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of Entrepreneurial Development under the Women's Business Ownership Assistance Program (CFDA 59.043). The funding will support Benedict College's National Alumni Association division in delivering training, counseling, and technical assistance to small businesses owned and controlled by women, with an emphasis on socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. This initiative aims to remove discriminatory barriers women entrepreneurs face in accessing capital, markets, management, and other critical resources for business growth. Benedict College frequently partners with other universities and organizations as both a prime recipient and sub-awardee on numerous federal grants focused on areas such as STEM education, cybersecurity, workforce development, and entrepreneurship training.
